"I don't want to hear any of your excuses!" Amachi yelled at her, before moving over to a computer terminal. "Now I've got to deal with these insects," he mumbled as he typed in keys. "Can you handle them?" he asked seemingly to thin air.
"Of course," a voice answered as a figure stepped out of the shadows; he was wearing purple clothing, sunglasses and a bandana covering his face.
Amachi then turned back to Isaribi, "come on you stupid girl, we have to go catch a ship. And don't mess up this time; if you do I will never give you the cure to turn you back to normal."
Isaribi followed the man, with a single tear falling down her cheek.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto frowned as he, Anko, Ino and Shino walked along the hallway, moving slowly just in case there were several traps along the way. The hallway was exactly as he had expected something belonging to Orochimaru to look like; the place was dank, dark and wet. The walls had cracks running along them, and the entire place looked completely run down. However there was something that had been bothering the blond shinobi since they had entered, not once had they run into any traps. Given who this base had once belonged to and the fact that it was still occupied; Naruto would have expected some traps or enemy shinobi at least. Yet so far nothing had happened to them, which made Naruto assume that there would be an even more dangerous trap waiting for them at the end.
"Man this place is so creepy," Ino said with a shiver.
Naruto resisted the urge to roll his eyes, "What did you expect from a place like this. Bright colors on the walls, and cute fluffy bunnies."
"No!" Ino said as she glared at the blond, "I'm just making a comment."
"Yamanaka-san you may want to keep your voice down," Shino said, "as we are in enemy territory it would be unwise to speak so loudly."
Ino huffed but remained quiet, as they continued to walk. They eventually reached the end of the hallway, and found out that their path was blocked by yet another door. This one was the exact same as the one outside, after checking the door to make sure there were no traps Naruto tried to figure out which jutsu to use to get past. He could not use the Rasenshuriken for this, if he did the whole laboratory might collapse if there were any important support structures in the wall. Making a decision Naruto unsealed Susanoo and got into a batoujutsu stance, with his knees spread slightly apart and bent. Taking a deep breath Naruto unsheathed the blade and made several slashes, all the other three ninja could see were flashes of light. When finished Naruto sheathed his blade with a resounding click, the door then fell into sixteen even cuts.
Naruto looked back at his companions, to see them gaping at him as he resealed his sword. "The wonders of wind chakra," Naruto said in answer to the obvious question of how he had cut the door down.
"Wait," Ino said as her mind kicked back in, "if you could have done this, why didn't you do that with the other door?"
Naruto blinked for a moment, "that's a good question…" he shrugged, "to be honest I didn't even think about doing things this way until just now." With that said Naruto walked in ignoring the two face faulting females, and the buzzing noise coming from Shino.
Stepping into the room Naruto let his enhanced vision scan the area, it was still too dark to see everything but what he did see was not good. All around the room was what the blond assumed was standard laboratory equipment, several computers were located throughout the room. Monitors held above them, showing various sets of data on what looked to be the same experiments as Isaribi. The thing that Naruto noticed the most and got his blood boiling were the tubes that were behind the computers.
Each tube was filled with some kind of liquid that was glowing a dark green color, as well as what Naruto knew was a human. Or at least what had been human's, now they were beings that had been experimented on and twisted to the point that they were only recognizable as humans by the standard bipedal shape. Many of the creatures looked similar to Isaribi, with scales of varying colors, clawed and webbed hands and feet, fins running out of their backs, and on their forearms. Seeing something like this was enough to make Naruto sick, and judging by his companion's expressions they felt the same way.
"Spread out and look around," Naruto ordered as he shunted aside his anger, "however do not touch anything, we have no clue if any of these things have traps on them." As the other three took a look around Naruto went over to one of the tubes, looking at the creature inside he could see that it looked the closest to Isaribi. Naruto looked at the monitor that had the information scrolling down; he could not understand half of what was on there but hoped that Tsunade could. Naruto placed a hand on one of the seals on his chest and channeled some chakra through it, there was a small puff of smoke and in his hand was a small rectangular device.
It was a new form of technology that had not even reached the markets yet, he had gotten it from one of the scientists that Koyuki had working on producing different technologies; one of the many benefits to being secretly engaged with the beautiful Daimyo. It was called a U.S.B. drive and worked by cracking, downloading and compiling knowledge found on computers such as this. Naruto had no clue how the thing actually worked, but he knew it was designed to easily download and access data, or transfer it to another computer. Plugging the device into one of the slots on the computer, the blond watched as a bar appeared in the center of the screen and slowly filled up.
"Watch'a doing gaki?"
Naruto turned his head to see Anko looking over his shoulder; turning back to the display monitor he shrugged. "I'm downloading the data from this computer, this," Naruto pointed to his drive. "Is some new technology I got when I was in Haru No Kuni, and is designed to download information so that I can look through it later. Hopefully we'll be able to find out something useful about whatever the hell the person working here was trying to achieve, maybe even some information on Orochi-teme."
"So you got that in Haru huh?" Anko asked with something of a lecherous grin. "Was this before or after you made that porno with the Daimyo? You know I've got to hand it to you gaki; you've got some pretty big balls to do something like that. I've also got to thank you for all the material you gave me and Iruka-kun…"
"I really don't want to hear about your sexual life with my brother figure Anko," Naruto said with a sigh. The device gave a soft chime to let Naruto know it was done; he unplugged it and turned to the others in the room. "Alright you guys, it's obvious whoever was hear has left for the moment so let's get out of here and plan our next move."
Ino and Shino came over to them and they began to walk back towards the entrance, before they could even get within two feet of the exit the floor dropped out from under them.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto groaned as he stood up, while the fall was not enough to kill any of them it had still hurt quite a bit. He looked over at the others to see that unlike him, they had not been able to land on their feet. The blond sighed as he walked over to Anko and kneeled down next to her, "Anko," Naruto said as he shook her awake.
"Uh… ugh… what happened?" Anko asked as he she blinked her eyes open to see Naruto standing right above her. "Gah!" she rolled away getting on her feet with a kunai in one hand and another on her chest. "Don't do that Gaki! You nearly gave me a heart attack!"
